Senegal: the IMF at the heart of a political standoff in the Assembly

The IMF was at the center of discussions in the Senegalese National Assembly during Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lo's general policy statement. He defended a $2.2 billion agreement with the IMF, deemed essential for restoring public finances. However, this stance drew criticism, particularly from MP Guy Marius Sagna, who accused the government of compromising Senegal's economic sovereignty.
